This MySQL bug has shown up again. I am at the day job right now but will be attending to this from about 1900 UTC.
Update: All appears well, it was MySQL having a conniption. Now replacing it with MariaDB ...

MySQL database problems, work in progress
The MySQL database has been showing errors for the past few days. The error.log suggests this indicates a corrupt table, and to dump the data and restore from fresh. David is currently trying to get a good dump, per this manual page which is only slightly more than a little trepidatious. In the meantime, the wiki is down to avoid making the problem worse. If all else fails we have a VM snapshot from this morning (though that still has the corruption problem and will need recovery). Live updates on the RationalWiki Twitter.
Update: Recovered now. A dizzying array of backup mechanisms will be put into place ... tomorrow.
